Preparation Steps
- Boil Pasta: Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil, and add the bow-tie pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
- Cool Pasta: Drain the pasta, then rinse it under cold water to halt the cooking process. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl for easy mixing later.
- Add Oil: Drizzle the cooled pasta with extra-virgin olive oil, then toss gently to coat.
- Stir in Dressings: Add the basil pesto and Italian dressing to the pasta. Stir well to ensure every bite is infused with the delicious flavors.
- Mix Fresh Ingredients: Gently fold in the baby spinach, sliced cherry tomatoes, and halved bocconcini.
- Season to Taste: Sprinkle in salt and black pepper to enhance the dish's overall flavor. Taste it and adjust as needed.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
